You know when you’re really tired because you haven’t slept in a few days and you finally get a nice 8 hours in? That’s how I feel after being off Twitter yesterday.

I don’t want to be one of these long thread guys but there are a few things I want to touch on after my post...

yesterday. For me, it’s really simple. I’m a dad now. That little girl is the most important thing in my life. The #Yankees have to take a backseat to that. That doesn’t mean I’m not as much of a fan as I was before she was born. It just means if it comes down to Ava and the...

#Yankees, Ava wins. I’m not giving up my fandom. Far from it. This is something I want to share with her. I want that joy of taking her to her first game and buying her an overpriced stuffed monkey with a Yankees jersey on just because it’ll make her smile. Without the...

#Yankees I’m not sure my father and I would have any type of relationship. Obviously I’m going to try my best to have a much deeper relationship with my daughter but it illustrates how important it is to me to pass this on to her. I wouldn’t consider myself less of a fan...

going forward. Just a different one. The #Yankees losing sucks but I can’t let it change the type of dad I’m going to be. There are times when they lost and it would bother me for days but if they lose a tough game or God Forbid don’t make the playoffs I can’t let it bother...

me the same way. I still have to be a dad. When my daughter is up screaming because she’s hungry or something scared her and she needs me you think she’s going to care that the #Yankees lost? No. She’s going to need her daddy. Not someone brooding that a baseball team lost.

I still care about the #Yankees immensely. That will never change. I can’t stand how awful they’ve looked and that it doesn’t seem like anything will snap them out of this. I still love talking about this team. I still love doing the #NYYST Podcast. I’m just going to do my...

best to avoid the negativity. I know the #Yankees are bad right now so things aren’t going to be positive but there’s a logical way to look at it and a way that makes you look like a petulant child. So, if I tweet something you don’t agree with, let’s debate it. I’m not going...

to have an argument about it. There’s a difference. I have other priorities now and being weighed down on Twitter by other people projecting their misery onto others isn’t high on my list. Sorry. Even when the #Yankees are bad we can still have fun. Let’s see where that leads...

us. Let’s have spirited debates that don’t dissolve into name calling or start with an absolutely ridiculous comment like Gerrit Cole is the new Kenny Rogers after the guy makes 9 starts in a ten year contract. We’re #Yankees fans and we can act better and if you don’t want to...

that’s cool but just don’t expect me to get involved anymore.

I probably won’t be on here much today. Going to hang out with my cousins at a BBQ and then I’ll likely be recording the Podcast when the #Yankees are on. If you’re not a regular listener to the show or have never...

listened, why not give us a try? You might just like what you hear. It’s basically what you get from me on Twitter, turned up since I’m not limited to 280 characters. The best compliment we ever got was when someone compared us to him and his friends sitting at a bar...

bullshitting about baseball. If that’s up your alley then the #NYYST Podcast will be too.

Enjoy the holiday everyone and hopefully the #Yankees can snap out of this funk and start with a big win tonight.
